I am keen to find one of these. The nib is, I think, imprinted 'Italic' and it has a distinctive blue cap jewel. I have only ever seen a photograph of it in black, but there were a few other patterns.
Kind regards
Timothy

Hi Timothy,
Most people will never have seen this rare pen. Here's a few photos:

It appears to be a very ordinary Conway Stewart until you get a closer look at that nib:

and the metallic blue stud:

Unfortunately I no longer have this pen, the only Conway Stewart Italic I have seen.
